Cultivation is organic and environmentally conscious, the harvest is done manually and only the best bunches are selected softly pressed undergo a 30-hour cryomaceration , the 12-month aging takes place in barriques. The name Erbaluce originates from a legend, telling that the fairy Albaluce blessed the inhabitants of Caluso by giving them Erbaluce. It is a variety that was already known in the 17th century and was called Albaluce because of the pale yellow-green color reminiscent of the color of light when the sun rises. It is also called in Piedmontese dialect "Bian Roustì " and "Uva Rustìa," referring to the amber pink color of the berries when ripe, which makes them look roasted. Erbaluce is characterized by a medium-sized cluster with an elongated, cylindrical shape, medium-large round berries and thin skin. It is a variety with very low and irregular productivity due to susceptibility to common vine diseases and low fertility. It is grown by maintaining a thick layer of leaves to protect the clusters from hail, which can easily occur in areas of Piedmont where Erbaluce grows.
